Help, I have just spent the last two hours trying to make a pair of Campagnolo late '90s, non-ergo brake levers function with through-the-top, over the bars cabling, but the cable stop in the levers roll in a couple of grooves. Some of you must have tried to replicate the look of a classic setup with late-model parts. Do I need two of those "wavy" pieces from the original aero brakes to limit the travel of the stops? Is there some way to "shorten" the travel by compressing the levers while setting the calipers, or something else I am overlooking? Thank you for any consideration.
